A great spot if you want a healthy meal that actually fills you up. The ice cream at the end was a nice refreshing finish.

Very rude service. We arrived around 1:30 PM when the restaurant wasnât busy and had plenty of empty tables, but the host ignored us while using her tablet. Since we were meeting friends, we waited. A few minutes later, she finally asked how many people, walked away, and told us to wait âfor a second.â After more waiting, she said it would be a 15â20 minute wait. This should have been communicated upfront instead of leaving us standing there. When I pointed this out, she rudely said, âYou just waited 5 minutes.â The whole interaction was dismissive and unwelcoming. Very disappointing experience. We left and went to another restaurant in the same plaza.

Poor service. No explanations about the menu. No last-call reminders at all when they are cleaning up the food. Extra fee for drinks. Food is just okay with limited flavors.

Not busy at all but they told us weâd have to wait for 2 hours. Ridiculous
They have a great variety of vegetarian choices. Service was very nice.

We came here by accident the first time since another Japanese restaurant was closed nearby but weâre so happy we found this place! All you can eat shabu shabu with over 6 cuts of quality thin sliced beef/pork (more if you choose wagyu) and 4 types of broth. The vegetables are all freshly chopped with plenty of toppings/noodles to go around. Above all the price is solid, we always leave full, and canât wait to come back. Make a reservation since theyâre usually too busy for walk ups.

Very uncomfortable with having to share one pot among four people. Limited meat options, mostly fatty cuts that didnât seem healthy. The place didnât feel very clean, and overall not worth the price. No plans to return.

MoMo Paradise is a great place to come to for an authentic Shabu dinner. There was a bit of a wait for us to be seated but it is completely understandable. The restaurant isn't very big and can only hold up to 98 in max capacity.
Once seated, we ordered the spicy miso and the sukiyaki broth, followed by two of each in the beef options. We made sure to order of the MoMo menu as it was our first time there.
Overall, it was a very delicious and filling meal. We all left more than satisfied and were happy to say that it greatly exceeded our expectations. I cannot say anything really stood out to me more than other menu items, but my friends really enjoyed the curry rice from the self-serve bar. Also the sodas they have at the dispenser are good too, with melon being the standout.
About halfway through the meal. We were able to switch up the broths and try new ones. We only made it to round two before tapping out and ordering some ice cream for desert. What I like about the ice cream they gave us was that they only give you one scoop which is just the right amount after having such a hearty meal.
One other thing I liked about this place was how friendly the workers were. They took their time explaining everything to us and made sure to answer all of our questions. They also constantly checked up on us to make sure we had everything we needed! Thanks alot guys.
The restaurants itself was also really clean and I liked the lo-fi beats playing in the background while we ate. Truly a chill vibe to go with a fantastic meal.

I had lunch here with my friends over the weekend. The food was delicious and we had a great time, but I was surprised when I saw the bill.
I thought it was $38.95 per person, but we were charged $55.95 each.
The menu I saw didnât mention that there would be an extra charge for choosing Wagyu, and the Wagyu options were listed alongside other meats, so we didnât think anything of it. When it came time to pay, it was a bit of a shock.
I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, but I couldnât help but feel a bit misled.
